Smile for me!Gasp my one weakness. Morse code.
FINE I WILL TALK.
So.
Bigendered. Male and female gender. Female sex.
Kind of blows. My orientation shifts with it in terms of preferences...

I am male-to-female transgendered with moderate-to-severe dysmorphia. Nice to formally meet you, Aon.
Smile for me!Mine's light to moderate so...shit could be much worse.
OH HAY.
HOW ARE YOU. I AM HOT AND BUDDHIST.
BUDDHIST IS APPARENTLY A MOOD.

Mura: -flips the bird to veterinary science with one hand and Euclidean geometry with the other-Sounds like a place for me. MTF transgendered, here.
It's been a long road. I'm a year off 40, and I'm nowhere near living as the gender I am. Still, I'm happier than I was.
There've been hints my entire life. Even when very young. I had a time of severe dysmorphia at college (19-21, roughly), but I repressed it — I had enough going on in my life already what with coming out as bi and getting a lot of shit for it, and college was tough, and I didn't know myself gender-wise enough at that point to really pin it down.
Also, my gut instincts were probably right; I wasn't ready to cope with it. I was a mess of anxiety and stress, insecurity and depression then. Too afraid of what people thought. Too afraid of the inevitable humiliation of it. Too little support around me to give anyone to lean on, and too little social skills to ask.
It's been low-grade ever since but in the last couple of years it's back stronger. Only very recently have I had the ability to be sure and to stand up and say: I'm transgendered. Not just confused, not just indeterminate, but definitely.
A brighter future for a darker age.I kind of want to make you a skirt Morven. I like making them in general and it'd be a nice present I think. A sort of "YAY FOR ACCEPTING IT AND BOO ON DYSPHORIA" thing. Even if it's never worn the spirit of the thing is what matters!

Nobody gives me skirts.
(Kidding, kidding.)
Interesting fact: I found out a couple years ago that, if I make a little effort, I can pass. Flawlessly. People that know me didn't recognise me. I got mistaken for a substitute teacher by the principal. So apparently I look just liike a woman... In her thirties. Oy.

There's also the realization that one of the side effects of dysphoria is my not having taken very good care of a body I didn't want. Ew, how stupid. Well, better to work it out late than not at all, I guess!
A brighter future for a darker age.WE ALL DESERVE SKIRTS.
Or kilts.
If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan ChahHONOUR! GLORY! KILTS!
Mura: -flips the bird to veterinary science with one hand and Euclidean geometry with the other-I suspect the forum's FTM transsexuals don't want skirts! But yeah ;)
A brighter future for a darker age.That's why they get kilts!
If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan ChahPoint!
A brighter future for a darker age.SKIRT TYPE THINGS FOR ALL.
If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan ChahI like shorts. They're so roomy and comfortable.
... In other news, trying to acquire the skills and courage to pass. Bleh.
Smile for me!Oddly, I kind shorts damn uncomfortable but don't mind walking in my underwear. :/
I vowed, and so did you: Beyond this wall- we would make it through.Do you find them physically uncomfortable, Ten Tailed, or just psychologically uncomfortable?
I had no idea you were trans of any variety — sorry that I didn't notice!
A brighter future for a darker age.Maybe both? I'm guessing it's the difference in temperature. And no, not really trans as far as I know. Do have some body dysphoria, don't think I look nearly feminine enough (I'm male). But I don't really have gender issues, I think.
I vowed, and so did you: Beyond this wall- we would make it through.Bodily issues in general are at least somewhat related. One of the things that has always bothered me is I got born in a body that's not particularly feminine, and with a face that's not particularly feminine in particular. Heavy bone structure and all that.
A brighter future for a darker age.I have half of that problem. My face is androgynous, but the rest of me is built in the approximate size and shape of a house. That's why I'm unsure about transitioning- they can't make my shoulders smaller or my hips wider.
Mura: -flips the bird to veterinary science with one hand and Euclidean geometry with the other-My hips are broad but so are my shoulders. Still, this girl isn't exactly a dainty little femme by personality anyway ...

Afternoon, everyone, and welcome. Morven noticed that there wasn't a coven for this particular group of tropers, and after double-checking, I've launched this glitteringly amazing ☼thread☼ to fill that niche! So, without further ado, let us chatter away.
Smile for me!
